Today was a doubles tournament here on base, and the gym always provides rackets since no one ever bring their own (except me). For the last month, they have used pips in surfaces.. nothing special, but still not completely crappy. Well today was the day that they decided to change ALL the paddles to pips out. Basically, everything that i had ever relied on to score with was taken away since no spin is going to be imparted... I can usually get a lot of points off spinny serves but not this time! I got a whopping TWO points off serves in EIGHT games! insanity.
Anyways, we came in 4th... whats worse is my partner wouldn't move from a stand still until the ball hit our side and then crossed the line. Then he would nearly dive (didn't hit it back either). I was playing crappy too, the ball would either fly into the net or just miss the edge. couldn't get it together.
The only other time I have played against someone with a pips-out paddle was a few weeks ago, and it literally too forever to score... never beat him too.
forgot to mention... the pips were short and hard, not any grip at all. the sponge was hard too
Ping pong paddle got here finally
